Companies in Leuven, Belgium can run their whole hiring process on Pitch N Hire's applicant tracking system — job posting, a branded careers page, resume parsing, interview scheduling, scorecards and team collaboration — with a free-forever plan for one user. It works anywhere on the web, so a Leuven team can manage local and offshore hiring from one place.
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software a team uses to manage hiring end-to-end: posting jobs to boards and a branded careers page, collecting and parsing applications, moving candidates through pipeline stages, scheduling interviews, capturing structured scorecards, and collaborating on decisions. Pitch N Hire's ATS (its 'Operate' product) does all of this in the browser, with a free-forever tier for a single user and paid plans as a team grows. Because it is web-based it serves companies anywhere — a team can run its local recruitment and any offshore hiring from the same system, with reporting on time-to-fill and source performance so the process stays measurable rather than run over email and spreadsheets.
Create roles once and publish to your branded careers page and multiple job boards, so applications flow into one organised pipeline instead of scattered inboxes.
Resumes are parsed and candidates captured automatically, with duplicates merged, so your team starts from a clean, searchable candidate database.
Drag candidates through customisable stages, leave notes, and keep everyone aligned on where each person is — no more spreadsheet status-chasing.
Schedule interviews, share structured scorecards, and gather feedback in one place so hiring decisions are consistent and comparable across interviewers.
Dashboards show time-to-fill, source performance and pipeline conversion, so a team can see what's working and hire more predictably over time.
Pitch N Hire's applicant tracking system covers the full hiring workflow in one place:
Leuven is a compact university city with an outsized deep-tech footprint, anchored by KU Leuven and imec, the world-leading nanoelectronics and semiconductor research institute. This concentration spins out startups in chip design, AI, health-tech and advanced software, and attracts R&D labs from global technology firms. Demand skews toward highly specialised engineering — embedded, AI/ML, chip and research software — in a notably small local labour market.
Leuven talent is among the most research-intensive in Belgium, with rare depth in embedded systems, AI/ML, semiconductor and scientific engineering fed directly by KU Leuven and imec spin-outs. English dominates its international research teams. Because the pool is small and highly specialised, competition for senior deep-tech and platform engineers is fierce, and general software roles often look beyond the city for scale.
Leuven developer pay is competitive for its deep-tech profile, with senior engineers often in the region of EUR 60k-90k plus employer charges, and premiums for embedded, AI and chip-adjacent skills. To scale platform and product engineering affordably alongside scarce local specialists, Leuven firms frequently combine local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced through PNH.
PNH supports Leuven's deep-tech and startup employers with offshore engineering pods: vetted India-based developers and data engineers employed through an Employer of Record on CET-overlapping hours, to expand product, platform and integration delivery without competing for an exceptionally small pool of local specialist talent.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Leuven team's stage and workload — and mix them as you scale:
A pre-screened India talent pool means matched shortlists in days, not the months a local permanent hire can take.
You interview and choose every person; Pitch N Hire surfaces qualified candidates and handles the operational load.
Offshore hires are employed through PNH's India Employer of Record — payroll, tax and statutory compliance are taken care of.
Building part of your team offshore keeps comparable seniority on the roster at a lower total cost than local-only hiring.
Engineers work on overlapping working hours and inside your tools and sprints — collaboration, not black-box outsourcing.
Staffing, recruitment, EOR and the ATS/interview software come from one provider, so hiring stays joined-up as you scale.
